Does Thanksgiving even matter? This is the question that has been bothering me for quite some time now even though the answer is quite simple. Yes. Thanksgiving matters a lot. I understand that as soon as Halloween is over many of you are excited about Christmas; I understand that you guys feel happy to turn up the holiday music and to receive gifts and such. However, the fact that many of you overlook Thanksgiving is upsetting. The fact that I have to address this is frustrating, smh.

Thanksgiving is one of the best holidays because you get to spend time with your family and look back at how far you’ve come back since last year. Not only that but the atmosphere is amazing because it’s still autumn with its colorful leaves and mild temperatures. Christmas, on the other hand, is cold because winter has commenced. So take the time and fill out the following poll down below and give your feedback on whether or not you think Thanksgiving matters. I’d like to know everyone’s thoughts.
